COLNE Asda employee Anne Spencer swapped her uniform for cowboy boots and stetson in preparation for her business trip to the US.

Anne, who works in the general merchandise department of the store, will fly out to Bentonville, in Arkansas, on June 2, for the Wal-Mart shareholders' meeting.

She will join 17,000 other Wal-Mart employees from around the world to swap ideas.

Anne said: "It's a real honour."
